Thanks for the great information. Aren't you worried about giving away secrets?

No, because even rare book store owners aren't sure what they have. They are to interested in pushing inventory. You can go into just about any public library and find some valuable 1st editions. Like a first edition Old Man And The Sea or a 1st Fountain Head.... there is just so many books out there, but you have to know what is the first.. because many later printings look just like the first editions and people will push them as first editions. So, you have to go inside a book store or book sale scan the books, taking a note pad helps, go home and check out what the book is... is it a first edition or just the first American edition etc. etc.
